Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Heres another one fresh out of the building. Bought this in 2008 . Doing a little re arranging in the building to fit more trucks ! 1960 C30 . Hazard flasher, windshield washers, power brakes, 283 , all 6 original BF Goodrich Silvertown tires still have the nubs on them. Story was it was owned by a John Deere dealer in New York. Owner was in his 90s and had passed in 2007.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Very interesting. Proof that low miles does not always equate to pristine condition. In this case, pictures DON'T tell the story! Engine paint for instance gives the impression of much more use than a scant 500 times around on the mile counter. And what's up with that graham cracker floor mat? I've seen flawless mats in 75K mile trucks. ?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
The pics do tell a lot to go with VERY low miles ..... paint under ignition switch ,seat, mirror arms, mud flaps, tires, heater hoses/clamps batt cables, nothing molested, ECT...

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Beautiful, I love that the hazards still have the little tags and it has the original key chain. What's with that big square washer bottle? I've never seen one like that before

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Great find. If it was perfect we would know Chevrolet didn't build it. Trucks were made to beat up.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Oops! Sorry Jon, that's not how I meant my comments to come across. I was just saying that even an extremely low mile truck can show a surprising amount of less than perfect cosmetics. The floor mat especially in this case. It's puzzling to see some mats endure very well, and then some disintegrate with no miles on them.
My mouth often tastes like a shoe. Hmmm. |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Excellent addition to this thread 60-66. This is what this thread is all about, most original and best preserved. IMO, we want a chance see them the way they looked in the prime of their life, before the repaints, before the wheel change, before the engine change, before the reupholstry. In other words, a visual history lesson.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
For you guys in central Texas I found this gem. Not sure of the mileage but it's complete. The spare in the back is 5 lug.

Found this truck for sale! Looks to be pretty original and at a fair price. Only thing I am not sure about is "6000' is what I think it says underneath the badge. Has anyone seen this before?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Maybe not a true original but we restored it as am original. 1960 Chevrolet Apache 10. 235, hydraulic clutch with correct bellhousing (searched all over for one!), granny low 4spd sm420, rear gears I believe are 3.90s. Got it when I was 12, worked on it with my dad for about a year and a half. Then I continued working on it under an awesome bodyman/painter. There we finished a little over a year later. The only thing we did that's not original is a split manifold (not headers) and 30" glasspacks out back. I drive it a ton but now it's in for winter. I make it a somewhat daily driver. Very cautious how and where I drive it. I'm on original style guy! Customs and hot rods are cool but I'm really into original! And that's the way we restored it! No one my age likes a 6 cylinder but that's the way I like it. In the pictures is my pickup and I with my mentor with his 55 Chevy I'm gonna help him with restoring. That was this last July. Got that crazy restoration bug inside me!

Way to go Nate. I understand how you feel about stock stuff. I've always been a fan of "keepin' it real"
